What does dual differential lock mean?
1 Answers
Automotive dual differential lock refers to the central differential lock and rear axle differential lock. The differential lock is a locking mechanism installed on the differential, which connects the left and right drive wheels together to prevent one wheel from spinning while the other doesn't when one wheel slips, ensuring the vehicle can smoothly pass through complex road surfaces. Here are specific details about dual differential locks: 1. Introduction: Dual differential locks can achieve complete mechanical coupling of the power between the two half-shafts, making it very secure. However, differential locks should only be used in severe road conditions or extreme situations, as using them during normal driving can cause serious damage to vehicle components such as tires. 2. Function: The role of the differential lock is equivalent to performing a forced intervention, stopping the differential's function and turning the left and right axles into a rigid connection. Only when the side with resistance has power can the vehicle be driven out of difficult sections and continue moving forward.
